Things that piss you off that shouldn't

(I've only just learnt it's 'en garde' and not 'on guard')

Not really. "En garde!"  means "get ready, I am about to attack" (in fencing). 

In your "bad things come in threes" scenario, I'd say "I'll be on my guard" - like being on guard duty.

Oh man, thought I was being clever. Well there you go, there's the third thing, being humiliated on the internet.

I was making my sandwiches last night and because I'd put lettuce on them I thought I'd continue being posh by cutting them in to triangles. Unfortunately, this meant they wouldn't fit in my lunchbox.

Maybe I'm being stupid but I don't understand how cutting them into triangles means they suddenly don't fit in the standard lunchbox? The total size isn't increasing?

Should have cut them in half again?

The ones on the internet - they call that pwned or something. There, that's me all up to date with my information super-highway jargon.

I know, some kind of sorcery going on I think.

I might need to get on microsoft paint and draw this, but the box isn't much bigger than a sandwich cut in half in to two rectangles, so it didn't fit when cutting it in to two triangles.

I could have cut it in to four triangles, but I didn't want my colleagues thinking I was some kind of idiot. I had to squash them instead.

Why didn't you just cut the box in half? Honestly...

I wish the turtles made sandwiches instead, could have taught me a thing or two.

Ahhh yes, on my recent trip to Rome, I thoroughly enjoyed the finest works of Bebop and Rocksteady.

You can always refer to the teachings of scooby doo when it comes to managing large sandwiches.

rewind... Lettuce... that there is the very start of your problem, I'm fully convinced your use of lettuce started you on this slippery slope, first of all you put this ruiner of all sandwiches on your lunch, this in itself lead you to follow up with the silly notion of triangular sandwiches and your day already in a plant induced tailspin went full nose dive karma from that point onwards.

Lettuce... just say No! Its not big and its not clever. Was it peer pressure that made you do it?

Isn’t that a regular thing though (especially on here)? I wouldn’t attribute that to bad luck more bad judgement maybe

I've only just found out there was a 5th turtle 

[sharkyvilla]

Shouldn't they have been ninja tortoises rather than turtles anyway?

I'm guessing this is a set up for a joke.
